Chapter 135: Cover-up

After saying this, Shen Jinglun himself regretted it. He deliberately lured her to meet, not to disgust her. He coughed lightly and added awkwardly, "I just wanted to remind you that you have known each other for a short time and have no other meaning. ”

He Huan nodded. In the scorching silence, she could only hear the "rustling" of leaves and the "chirping" of crickets.

After a long time, Shen Jinglun finally regained his senses, he glanced at He Huan from the corner of his eye, and sighed secretly.

He Huan heard his inaudible sigh, and hated himself even more. She has to marry Shen Jinglun, how can she make him suspect that she has a lot of relationship with Xie San?

"Cousin-in-law, as I said just now, Third Master Xie is my savior, that's all."

"As you say, I do have something on my mind, so I shouldn't have asked Daylilies to bring you here."

When He Huan heard this, he was secretly surprised, and couldn't help but look up at him. Almost at the same moment, Shen Jinglun also looked down at her and smiled apologetically.

The moment the four eyes met, He Huan was stunned. Maybe she was self-inflicted, but at this moment, she really felt that Shen Jinglun's attitude towards her was special. This is especially for Lin Xiyan, or for He Huan? Didn't he not believe it, was she Lin Xiyan?

There was silence again. Shen Jinglunfu turned his head to look at the lotus pond again, and stated in a low voice: "In the morning, he asked me to meet. ”

Although Shen Jinglun's words were unknown, He Huan knew that the "he" in his mouth meant Xie San. Overnight, she only felt that a heart was in her throat, and she couldn't help but think of Xie Minjun. She told Xie San that there must be an inside story about Xie Minjun's pregnancy, but in the end. She wasn't without suspicion. Shen Jinglun is a gentleman. But this moment. In the dead of night, he arranged for them to meet in the Shen family's garden, which was not a gentleman's doing.

"Don't you ask me, why did he invite me to meet?" Shen Jinglun chuckled lightly, and continued: "Perhaps, you already know the truth, right?" ”

"I ......" He Huan wanted to deny it, but she and Xie San would not see each other again, if she didn't ask it clearly now. I'm afraid that in this life, I won't know what kind of past Shen Jinglun and Xie Minjun have. She wanted to speak, but then she felt that she was He Huan now, and she had no position to ask him at all.

"Forget it." Shen Jinglun revealed the topic, "My previous words are indeed a bit excessive. In addition, Nianxi is very good, the doctor said, as long as you take care of yourself, there will be no trouble. ”

"Really?" He Huan couldn't hide the joy on his face.

Shen Jinglun seemed to be infected by her. He laughed, but the smile in his eyes quickly faded. Zhengse said: "Over there in the Yamen, I have already seen Xiao Zhutou, and Lord Lu also promised to convict Shui Ting." In order to avoid being tongue-in-cheek, your third uncle also has to stay in prison for a while. ”

"Cousin-in-law, what does it mean to be convicted? If she doesn't want to speak, who will she command? He Huan just wanted to know who set up such a big game and wanted to murder the He family.

Shen Jinglun shook his head and said, "It's impossible for her to name the person who instructed her." She has endured by your third uncle's side for so many years, and she is not an ordinary person. In fact, it doesn't matter if she says it or not. ”

"Cousin-in-law, do you know who instructed her?" He Huan was surprised. She believed she was not wrong.

After a moment of silence, Shen Jinglun shook his head again, and said lightly: "In short, when the dust settles on the case, I will send someone to send you home, and there will be no similar things in the future." ”

Hearing what Shen Jinglun said firmly, He Huan became more and more surprised. She asked, "Cousin-in-law, what do you mean by 'conviction'?" ”

Shen Jinglun paused word by word, and said in a deep voice: "She will die in court." ”

Before the words fell, He Huan's heart sank with a "pop". She clearly knew that Shen Jinglun rarely beat and scolded his subordinates, let alone killed people. "I'm sorry."

"For no reason, what do you apologize for?"

"If it weren't for my aunt's request, you wouldn't need ......"

"What I just said was just angry words, and my mother-in-law didn't know who Lu Dao Shui Ting was."

He Huan thought about it, her mother was not a shrewd and cautious person, and at this time, she was far away in Qingsongguan, and it was indeed impossible for her to get the news so quickly, and she knew that Shui Ting's target was the He family. Thinking of this, she looked at Shen Jinglun's eyes with a little more gratitude, and whispered: "Cousin-in-law, apart from Xie Lu Xie, I don't know what else Lu Dao can say." ”

"You don't need to say thank you, on the contrary, I should ...... It's all wrong. Shen Jinglun swallowed the words that had reached his mouth, "That's it, you go back to the guest room with Xuancao." ”

"Wait a minute." He Huan took half a step forward, "Cousin-in-law, I don't know who instructed Lu Dao Shui Ting, I always feel uneasy......"

"Don't worry, there won't be another time, and there won't be a second water tin."

"Why are you so sure?" He Huan looked at Shen Jinglun with burning eyes, "Cousin-in-law, you already know the inside story of Lu Dao, right?" ”

Shen Jinglun didn't answer, just looked at the dark night sky. He Huan looked at his side face, and the doubts in his heart were even worse. She tried to think about everything in the connection.

Why is Shui Ting lurking next to her third uncle? Although He Bohai's family is rich, when they split up, the He family had already fallen, and he didn't have much property except for two shops. It is speculated from this that Shui Ting's target is most likely to be the business between Sanfang and the Wa Kingdom. In this way, the whole thing has a certain relationship with Tang An and even the former prince. If you think about it further, I am afraid it has something to do with Shen Jinglun and Xie Minjun.

The more He Huan thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and she asked: "Cousin-in-law, what is the purpose of Shui Ting suddenly surrendering to the Yamen?" ”

"There are some things that you don't know how to do." Shen Jinglun paused for a moment, and said earnestly: "I called you over so late, in addition to reassuring you, I just want to persuade you, Xie Sanye is not an ordinary person......

"Cousin-in-law, as far as I'm concerned, Third Master Xie is really just a lifesaver."

"Lifesaver." Shen Jinglun chuckled, his smile mixed with sarcasm and bitterness, as if he had fallen into a memory.

He Huan was inexplicable, thinking that he and Xie San were going to meet after all, she pondered and said, "It is a fact that Xie Sanye has saved me many times. When the black turban man pretended to be a gangster and surrounded the carriage, I also suspected that those people were arranged by him just to win my trust. But it turns out that he may be unruly, but he is indeed a fair and honest man. I believe that there must be some misunderstanding between you, or maybe there is something inside that you don't know about each other. ”

He Huan's words were scorching, but Shen Jinglun seemed to fall into memories and looked into the distance in distraction.

He Huan didn't hear his response for a long time, and asked uncertainly, "Cousin-in-law, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's fine." Shen Jinglun shook his head. After a moment, he asked, "You have changed your opinion of Third Master Xie just because of the grace of saving your life?" Do you believe his words unconditionally, also because of the grace of saving your life? Is it so important to you women that saving your life? ”

For a second, He Huan wasn't sure if Shen Jinglun was asking her or someone else. She secretly laughed at her inexplicability, and didn't know how to respond.

The night deepened. Shen Jinglun didn't speak again, He Huan was sitting on pins and needles. She wanted to know the truth about Xie Minjun's pregnancy, and she wanted to find out who Shui Ting was instructed by. But she was not qualified to ask the former question, and Shen Jinglun was unwilling to tell her the latter question.

After a long time, He Huan continued to ask: "Cousin-in-law, is Shui Ting's surrender related to you?" ”

Shen Jinglun smiled, shook his head and said, "You are too persistent, and it is not good for you." ”

"Cousin-in-law, since you meddled in this matter, since it wasn't because of your aunt, you must feel that you have some responsibility for this matter, don't you?" The more He Huan thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. Meanwhile. She couldn't understand that the Shen family had never had business dealings with the Wa Kingdom, let alone with He Bohai's family, where did he come from?

"Cousin-in-law!" He Huan urged.

Shen Jinglun restrained his smile and said coldly: "The reason why Shui Ting surrendered has nothing to do with you, you don't need to know the truth." ”

"What about Xie Minjun? Is it related to her? He Huan blurted out, and as soon as the words came out, she couldn't wait to bite off her tongue and hurriedly corrected it: "What I mean, since Shui Ting's matter involves Tang An, does it mean that the whole thing is related to the prince's rebellion ten years ago?" Although she lowered her head, she could still feel Shen Jinglun's burning gaze. Is he angry?

In fact, Shen Jinglun couldn't tell his mood at the moment, he didn't answer and asked: "What did Xie San say to you?" After speaking, he asked himself again: "Forget it, you don't have to tell me, I hope you can remember that the deceased is gone, not to mention that she is not only my wife, but also the eldest daughter of Yong'an Hou." ”

The word "wife" made He Huan's heart sink heavily. Shen Jinglun thought she was dead, but Xie San said that she was still alive. The world knows that they have a marriage contract. He has always promised that if he knew that Xie Minjun was still alive, even if she was crazy and half-dead, he would still marry her, right?

Seeing that He Huan didn't speak, Shen Jinglun turned to face her and said solemnly: "I don't care what you hear from Xie San, in short, she is my wife, and I will not allow anyone to destroy her reputation......"

"Reputation? Do you mean that Miss Xie is pregnant out of wedlock? ”

Shen Jinglun's face sank instantly, and he raised his voice and ordered Wen Zhu and Xuancao: "It's late at night, you go to the pavilion over there and wait." ”

He Huan looked at Wenzhu and Xuancao and bowed and retreated. In fact, where they were standing at the moment, they couldn't hear each other at all. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether Shen Jinglun was protecting Xie Minjun's reputation or covering up her ugly deeds. She hated her impulsiveness, but they had already said it, and she had nothing to worry about. She suppressed her voice and narrated: "Cousin-in-law said that Miss Xie is your wife, but as far as I know, in the Shen family's genealogy, your cousin is your wife, isn't it?" ”

"How do you know about Lu Dao...... Shen Jinglun's face became even more ugly, "Xie San even told you these things, so did he tell you who he was and what was the purpose of coming to Jizhou?" (To be continued......)
